Explanation:

Appraisal refers to the process (mostly formal) to evaluate the productivity of the manpower of an organisation. It serves for administrative as well as developmental purpose.

Performance appraisal serves three important purpose-

Providing adequate feedback to employees based on his/her performance.
It can help in modifying employee behaviour and thus contributing to an effective workspace environment.
Providing qualitative parameters to higher-order authority through which they can adjudge their subordinates.

However, appraisals occasionally fail in their motive due to following reasons-

Appraisals are prone to biases prevailing in the work environment. Moreover, the neutrality of the rating authority is also often under the scanner.
The appraisals are often inflicted by sampling error. The conclusion of few cannot be generalised on all.
Appraisals don’t take into account the variability of the employee's performance, Rather it relies on the end performance and the start.

Janitorial (126,000) 36,000 90,000 0

Maintenance (57,600) 19,200 38,400 0

Total cost $486,000 $711,600 $1,197,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Service Departments Operating Departments

Administration Janitorial Maintenance Binding Printing Total

Costs $168,000 $126,000 $57,600 $330,000 $516,000 $1,197,600

Number of

employees 60 35 140 315 210 760

Square feet of

space occupied 15,000 10,000 20,000 40,000 100,000 185,000

Hours of

press time 30,000 60,000 90,000

Allocation bases:

Administration cost = Number of employees 525

Janitorial cost = Square feet 140,000

Maintenance cost = Hours of press time 90,000

Allocation Rates and to Operating Departments:

Administration $168,000/525 = $320 per employee

Binding = 315 * $320 = $100,800

Printing = 210 * $320 = $67,200

Janitorial costs = $126,000/140,000 = $0.90 per square feet

Binding = 40,000 * $0.90 = $36,000

Printing = 100,000 * $0.90 = $90,000

Maintenance costs = $57,600/90,000 = $0.64 per press hour

Binding = 30,000 * $0.64 = $19,200

Printing = 60,000 * $0.64 = $38,400

With no inflation, a bank would be willing to lend a business firm $5 million at an annual interest rate of 6%. But if the rate

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The nominal interest rate which the bank will offer is of 10.24%

Explanation:

according to Irwin formula the bank will charge a nominal rate that ensures a real rate of 6% thus:

$\frac{1+r_n}{1+ \theta} -1 =r_e$

$(1+r_e)(1+ \theta) -1 = r_n$

1.06*1.04-1 = 0.1024 = 10.24%

karl opens a savings account with 2500.Hedeposits1500 every year into the account that has a 0.75% interest rate, compounded mon

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

28707.80 is the account balance after 10 years.

Explanation:

In his question we have two parts of the problem the first one is a single deposit of 2500 in which we will find its future value after 10 years by using the future value formula which is Fv = Pv(1+i)^n , where

Fv is the future value after 10 years of saving the amount which we are calculating.

Pv is the present value initial investment of 2500

i is the annual interest rate which will be 0.75% x 12 = 9% as we are given a rate which is for monthly compounding.

n is the number of years the 2500 is saved up for.

Then we substitute these values to the above mentioned formula:

Fv = 2500(1 +9%)^10

Fv = 5918.41

now we will solve the second part of the question which involves 1500 deposited every year which this is an annuity part of the question where periodic payments are made constantly over 10 years for a certain future amount. which the formula is Fv = C[((1+i)^n -1)/i] , where

Fv is the future value of saving 1500 per year for 10 years

C is the periodic saving which is 1500

i is the annual interest rate of 9% as the 1500 is saved per year

n is the number of periods the 1500 is deposited for which is 10 years'

now we substitute to the above mentioned formula to find the future value:

Fv = 1500[((1 + 9%)^10 -1)/9%]

Fv =22789.39 .

now we will combine both future values to find the account balance after 10 years which will be 22789.39+ 5918.41 = 28707.80 rounded off to two decimal places.
